lirik lagu the dubliners - a gentleman soldier (1972)
[verse 1]
well, it’s of a gentleman soldier as a sentry he did stand
he saluted the fair maid via waving of his hand
so boldly then he kissed her, and he passed it off as a joke
he drilled her up in the sentry~box wrapped up in a soldier’s coat
[refrain]
and the drums, they go with a rat~ta~ta~tat and the fifes do loudly play
fair thee well, polly me dear, i must be going away
[verse 2]
all night they tossed and tumbled ’till daylight did appear
the soldier rose, put on his clothes, said “fair ye well, me dear
for the drums, they are a~sounding and the fifes do sweetly play
if it weren’t for that, dear polly, then along with you i’d stay”
[refrain]
and the drums, they go with a rat~ta~ta~tat and the fifes do loudly play
fair thee well, polly me dear, i must be going away
[verse 3]
“oh come, you gentleman soldier, won’t you marry me?”
“oh no, me dearest polly, such things never can be
for i’ve a wife already, and children i have three
two wives enough for the army, but one’s too many for me!”
[refrain]
and the drums, they go with a rat~ta~ta~tat and the fifes do loudly play
fair thee well, polly me dear, i must be going away
[verse 4]
“if anyone comes a courting you, you can treat them to a glass
if anyone comes a courting you, you can say you’re a country lass
you don’t have to tell them that ever you played this joke
that you were drilled in a sentry~box wrapped up in a soldier’s cloak”
[refrain]
and the drums, they go with a rat~ta~ta~tat and the fifes do loudly play
fair thee well, polly me dear, i must be going away
[verse 5]
“oh come, you gentleman soldier, why didn’t you tell me so?
my parents will be angry when this, they come to know”
and when nine long months had come and passed, that poor girl, she brought shame
she had a little militia~boy and she didn’t know his name!
[refrain]
and the drums, they go with a rat~ta~ta~tat and the fifes do loudly play
fair thee well, polly me dear, i must be going away
